• Visual Studio How to add items to toolbox

  I know this is strange, and it's a long story about how my team got to this place, but we are producing a set of dependent assemblies that are stored in different bin directories. When we try to "add" one of these assemblies to the toolbox so we can use the controls it defines, the "add" fails because VS cannot find the other assemblies it depends upon because they are spread over several other directories. Is there any way to control WHERE Visu ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Namespace Administrators ?

  I find the term "Namespace Administrators" confusing.  What is meant by "Namespace" here   Isn't this really "Repository Administrators"   You can call the same web service methods that gssutil.exe uses.  The VSTS extenisibility kit may contain some useful info http://www.vsipdev.com/downloads/ You can also look at the web service soap traffic between gssutil.exe and the server to s ...Show All

• SQL Server Complex join

  I have a C# application for tracking training. When I need to get the employee's missed training (exception report) it works fine on a one-by-one basis. Our HR folks can't sit and spin through 100s of screens, so I want to provide a comprehensive report for all employees. Here is the first hack which places everything into a temporary table. Problem is I can't get a while loop to work with it as is. All three "sub queries" build the ...Show All

• SQL Server Time Series - Key Time and Missing Value Substitution

  1. I am using datetime as the Key Time column and if I leave the parameter Missing_Value_Substitution (MVS) blank, it complains there are missing values. I have stripped the data down to a single sample series which *definitely* has exactly 1 row with each month (e.g. from 2003-01-01, 2003-02-01 ... 2005-07-01) and it still gives this error. 2 . What happens if there are multiple Key Time values, e.g. 2003-01-01 Bread 100 Shop1 2003-01 ...Show All
